Highlands Lodge – 5BR Luxury, Lake Views & BBQ

Summary:
Highlands Lodge – Luxury 5BR Queenstown Stay with Lake Views
Enjoy sweeping Lake Wakatipu and Remarkables views from this three-level, five-bedroom retreat just a short walk from Queenstown’s lakefront and restaurants. Relax on the expansive deck, cook in the gourmet kitchen or the self-contained apartment’s own kitchen, and unwind in spacious living areas. Perfect summer base for large groups to enjoy wine tours, golf, biking, lake adventures and vibrant dining.

The Space:

Family Holiday to Queenstown

The property was perfect for our large group of family members. Lots of space for us all to be together. Spectacular views and in easy distance to the centre of town if you have a car. The property was clean, well looked after and came with some small touches that made our lives easier (eg a kitchen with Tupperware we could use).
